Episodes
In John 10, Jesus says, “My sheep hear My voice.” But does this passage teach that Christians should expect to hear an audible or personal voice from God?
In this episode, we carefully examine John 10 in its wider context, beginning with the themes of belief and unbelief, sight and blindness, and the growing conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees in John 7–9. We explore...
What does the Bible teach about the role God has given women? In this episode of The Bible Friends, we open Scripture and discuss the high and holy calling of women within the church, marriage, motherhood, and discipleship.
Beginning in Titus 2, we examine the responsibility of older women to teach and encourage younger women, the importance of loving our husbands and children, and ...
What does it mean to defend your faith when the world shames, mocks, or questions you? In this episode of The Bible Friends, we study 1 Peter 3:15 in its surrounding context and explore Peter’s instruction to always be ready to give a defense for the hope within us.
Rather than treating this verse as a general encouragement to simply live a joyful life, we look at how Peter was writi...
What does it really mean to hear from God? Are our thoughts, feelings, and internal impressions messages from the Holy Spirit—or have we confused our own emotions with God’s voice?
In this episode of The Bible Friends, we share how our understanding of hearing from God changed as we began studying Scripture more carefully. We discuss the pressure to constantly receive a ...
Should churches sing songs from false teachers or ministries known for false doctrine? In this episode, we talk about worship, discernment, sound doctrine, and why the source of the songs we sing in church matters.
Worship is not just about emotion, talent, or whether a song sounds beautiful. Biblically, worship is a response to who God is, and the songs we sing shape what we believ...
Does the Bible actually tell Christians to warn against false teaching? Or should we simply focus on teaching the truth and ignore everything else?
In this episode of The Bible Friends, we open Scripture to explore what the Bible says about biblical discipleship, false teachers, and protecting the church from error. Looking at passages from 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Jude, 2 John, 3 John, and G...
Can Christians become holier simply by trying harder? In this episode of The Bible Friends, we explore what the Bible really teaches about sanctification. Looking at passages from Colossians, James, Galatians, Romans, Thessalonians, and the teachings of Jesus, we discuss the difference between self-made religion and true spiritual growth through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you've ever struggled with legalism, striving, guilt, ...
Why is remembering God's faithfulness so important for Christians? In this episode of The Bible Friends, we explore how Scripture repeatedly calls God's people to remember His works, His promises, and His character. From the Exodus to the Psalms to the gospel of Jesus Christ, we discuss how looking back at God's faithfulness strengthens our faith, encourages obedience, and gives us hope for the future.

Have you ever wondered what a Bible dictionary is or how it differs from a regular dictionary, lexicon, or Strong's Concordance? In this episode of The Bible Friends, we discuss one of the most helpful and overlooked Bible study tools available to Christians. We explain what Bible dictionaries are, how to use them to study people, places, and things in Scripture, and why we believe every believer should have one before investing in...
In this episode of The Bible Friends, we discuss what Scripture says is the biggest threat to the church — and according to the Bible, it isn’t coming from outside the church, but from within. Together we walk through passages in Matthew 7, Galatians, Jude, 1 Corinthians 5, and 1 Timothy 5 to talk about false teachers, wolves in sheep’s clothing, church discipline, sin within the body, and how believers are called...
In this episode of The Bible Friends, we tackle one of the biggest questions many Christians wrestle with today: How do we know what’s truly biblical when there are so many different interpretations? Together, we walk through the core doctrines of the Christian faith and discuss the foundational truths that believers cannot compromise on. From the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the true gospel, to the deity of Christ, monot...

In this episode of The Bible Friends, we open Scripture to talk about the true gospel of Jesus Christ and what the Bible actually teaches about salvation. Together we walk through 1 Corinthians 15, Romans 10, John 10, Romans 5, James 2, and more as we discuss repentance, faith, grace, the resurrection of Christ, and why the gospel is far more than simply “Jesus loves you.”
We also talk about the difference between the g...
When you feel weak, discouraged, or overwhelmed—what does it actually look like to stay strong in your faith?
